Help desperately required re: date formatting

Can anyone shed any light here before I abandon DataAssist.......

Pretty well every time i insert records using DataAssist it has been impossible to force a UK date format - either using <%Session.LCID=2057%> or switch function code recommended by WebAssist.

WebAssist support now concede that DataAssist can't insert the date in UK format (tho it has been known to do it correctly on some insert page, for some even more baffling reason) and say there is a bug and it may get fixed at some point in the future, but that's obviously not helping me now, knee deep in a project.

I have tried re-building a basic Dreamweaver Insert page and the date inserts fine. However I also need to use Dig File Pro to upload files WA engineer thought that should be fine) . Having added that, and changed all the "Request.Form" instances to "UploadFormRequest", I am left with the page falling over at the line using "If (CStr(UploadFormRequest("MM_insert")) = "form1") Then".

It brings up the same "can't call binary read" error message. If I change that instance of "Request" to "UploadFormRequest", I get an type mismatch error.


Can anyone shed any light on a way forward? I really have to be able to input dates in consistent UK format and be able to upload files from the same page. I'm not good enough write it all without extensions

Am I asking the technically impossible or does anyone know what needs to be changed in this code that's hanging. Or how to actually ensure a UK date format adhered to....

Would be very grateful for any suggestions.
